Hi Robert,

Some of my colleagues and I are very interested in using these technologies in our new Children's Library Discovery Center, opening this summer in Queens, NY. 

We've not yet developed any specific programmatic elements and could really benefit from experience at other institutions. 

The center is a cultural institution mash up, a library with science center elements -- exhibits and STEM programming. 

Staying tuned,
Lynn Cole
Queens Library
